As underlined by several national competent authorities, a more harmonised procedure for the accreditation, designation, authorisation or licensing of tissue establishments would foster mutual trust and acceptance between Member States which are essential for ensuring a prompt supply of tissues and cells to the patients in need for the cases in which tissues and cells are distributed from another Member State than the one where the patient is treated.
Zoals benadrukt door verschillende bevoegde nationale autoriteiten, zou een meer geharmoniseerde procedure voor de erkenning, aanwijzing, machtiging of vergunning van weefselinstellingen het wederzijds vertrouwen en de wederzijdse erkenning tussen de lidstaten bevorderen.
